About the Hotel

The roar you hear when you wake up at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas is the sound of millions of tons of water tumbling over the cataracts of Iguassu Falls, a natural wonder that spans the border of Brazil and Argentina. The hotel is the only one in Iguassu Falls National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – which means you can explore them long before and after the lookouts are opened to visitors. Toucans and jaguars roam the surrounding rainforest, and local flora and fauna fill the rooms thanks to paintings by Brazilian artist Ludmilla de Montes.

Rise early for a guided nature walk to learn about the peculiar species inhabiting the rainforest. Take a detour to catch a glimpse of Devil’s Throat, the iconic U-shaped dropoff that spews a curtain of mist into the clouds. Join a boat ride to the base of the falls. Be humbled by the power of water. Watch the sunset on the veranda with a caipirinha, swaying to a chill samba played live.
